"If we're fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports, the benefits cannot just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They have to be shared by American workers, who need to know that opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line," President Obama told the Chamber of Commerce on Monday morning.

Ah, this statement coming from someone who’s NEVER had a real job. (Including the one he’s posing in now.)

Zer0 needs to share the profits from his lame books with the American Taxpayers first. Show some leadership on the issue, Hussein.

Words of wisdom from a person who never even ran a lemonade stand when he was a kid—
or mowed lawns for money—
or sold Girl Scout Cookies.

This same person just gave permission for all the TSA gropers to unionize.

I want to live long enough to see him run out of Washington on a rail.

Excuse me Mr. President, but the American workers DO get their share of the profits, and they get it off the top, regardless of whether the businesses they work for make or lose money. It is called SALARY.

Perhaps HIS paycheck needs to be shared among the poor. He can always write a check and yet he somehow can’t find a pen...

I could see this coming from a mile away.

Funny how Zero never mentions the uncharitable multi-billionaire and millionaire Obama donors who are “sitting on cash”...

Seems to me a TSA union would have sufficiently deep pockets that you could just sue them for groping too deeply.

He doesn’t even know what he’s saying. Doesn’t even make sense. If you want to “share”...buy some stock.

They are shared by the American workers - they get to keep their jobs.

Now if they want the same benefits as the people "at the top", they can put up some venture capital, go into business with a good idea and make it grow.

That's how it works, Obarry.

There is already profit sharing dumb@ss. It’s called a job. No profit, no job. Want real profit sharing, sell employee stocks. Own more stock, share more profit.

Does Harvard offer business classes to law majors?

I wonder if Hussein thinks American workers should also share in corporate losses? If a company posts a net loss, should it be allowed to take back all the salaries, wages and benefits it paid to all its employees, during that year?

Typical world view of the ivory-tower socialist who never worked a day in his life at a real jobs. My son’s father-in-law met 0bama when he was running for POTUS, and shook his hand. Said he had the softest hands of anyone (male or female) he’d ever met. He just doesn’t get the real world.

I had professors in college that thought the same way. None of them were employable in the real world, either.

We are so screwed until we can get rid of this poser.
